Bill McKibben’s 1989 groundbreaking book, The End of Nature, was the first of his 13 remarkable books about climate change. In 2007 he co-founded 350.org, which sparked the global action movement, and has since organized 20,000+ rallies/actions and launched the fast-growing fossil fuel divestment and keep it in the ground movements.

Bill will speak on the state of the climate movement and what it will take to keep fossil fuels in the ground, including many of the most exciting local and national campaigns going on right now and plans for movement escalation after May’s Break Free from Fossil Fuels actions.

Doors open at 6:30 PM. Fun and terrific program begins at 7PM, with music and intro featuring the Road Sodas, and Portland NAACP president JoAnn Hardesty. After the program, stick around for a short reception and tabling fair.
